Seems to be based on the Hiltless from Demons Souls. It description says "forged by a famous swordsmith in a distant country". Would guess this has to be Muramasa then. His swords are known to be cursed ones. Like the Chaos Blade is cursed too.

"When its unique, long blade meets skin, it tears it apart into a wound that is said will never heal. It is a cursed weapon that devours the wielder's life energy, but despite this, warriors continue to be drawn to this katana."

With the Frayed blade, this is no longer true :"At maximum refinement the Chaos Blade has S scaling in Dex and high base damage making it potentially the highest damaging katana in the game for Dex builds."

The Chaos Blade is unfortunately unaffected of the latest regulation changes which should have boosted the influence of high level dexterity. It still scales the same all the way up to an AR of 490 with 99 Dex.Also from the latest patch it didn't receive any bonus in terms of it's bleed aux (neither through luck scaling nor higher base aux). Too bad it was left out on that part since it seemed that it should have some distinguished edge in that matter compared to other's

I just barely found out of this thing and was immediately infatuated with it. I tested the TWO ideas I had out of curiousity. Chaos Blade is NOT affected by the Ring of Steel Protection, or by a Duel Charm. I figured this would be the case, but I was dissapointed to find out that it is ALSO not affected by the Calamity Ring. I was hoping to punish myself extra for leveling dex. Sadly I cannot do so, I'll simply have to pair it with Bloodlust for my extra edgy imasculation build.

But it really needs a dedicated 60 dex build to make it shine and currently no other weapon benefits from 60 dex expect the pontiff knight scythe and that need 12 faith so it really limits the amount of weapons you can use that isn't better when used ina quality build which is disappointing
